Is it possible to sound American and be credible when you come from another country? Stone Broken doesn't even ask the question and offers a ready-made answer: absolutely!
Coming from England, the quartet evolves in a hard rock FM register strongly influenced by Shinedown, Alter Bridge or a certain Canadian combo led by a certain Chad K. whose name is better kept quiet because of the obvious similarities.
If "Revelation" is the third delivery of the band, this last one represents a new level crossed for lack of a revolution or a real action. The tracks are well constructed, the catchy choruses land one by one from the intro of 'Black Sunrise' and the sound polished by Dan Weller (also guitarist of SikTh) is of a formidable implacability.
The novelty lies in the addition of good electro touches ('Make It Out Alive', 'Over The Line', 'Gimme Some More') as well as in the greater presence of the female backing vocals of the drummer Robyn Haycock ('Without A Reason') and the eleven tracks go by like a convertible swallowing the burning asphalt at the exit of Las Vegas to get lost in the desert of the Mojaves.
If this is not yet the ideal recipe to break the bank, we have to admit that the bluff to play at the main table is successful. A world tour for the fourth album: is it a good bet?
